About_Twitterwurk Set

Get Twitterwurk Set, Go! We were proud to announce that our second Twitter residency was Australian artist Netwurker Mez.

"Mez does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic have done for ASCII Art: Turning a great, but naively executed concept into something brilliant, paving the ground for a whole generation of digital artists." Florian Cramer

The impact of her unique code/net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language "mezangelle"] has been equated with the work of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall.

Her awards include the 2001 VIF Prize (Germany), the JavaMuseum Artist Of The Year 2001 (Germany), 2002 Newcastle New Media Poetry Prize (Australia) and winner of the 2006 Site Specific Index Page Competition (Italy).

Netwurker Mez's archived tweets from the residency can be accessed here. Her own meta_tweet commentary regarding the project can be dug out here.
